The results have indicated that a total of 1753 species and 40 infraspecific taxa belonging to 845 genera and 165 families are found in the region. An analysis has indicated that Poaceae is the most dominant family and Cyperus is the most dominant genus in the region. Moreover, eight taxa are endemic while 110 taxa are rare in the region. In addition, 10 species viz., Illicium griffithii Hook.f. & Thomson, Cyperus cephalotes Vahl, Cyperus pulcherrimus Willd. ex Kunth, Fimbristylis aphylla Steud., Scleria annularis Steud., Scleria terrestris (L.)

The average annual rainfall The terai region in Uttar Pradesh, India lies along the varies from 1,090 to 1,230 mm. The entire region is foothills of Himalayas covering 21 districts of the state covered by various types of forests and the total forest viz., Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar, Bijnor, Moradabad, cover is about 5,406 sq km which is 8.378 % of the total Rampur, Bareilly, Pilibhit, Shahjahanpur, Kheri geographical area of the region. The region is typical in (Lakhimpur), Sitapur, Bahraich, Shravasti, Balrampur, the sense as elements of subhimalayan tracts and Gonda, Sidharthnagar, Basti, Sant Kabir Nagar, gangetic plains intermix together thus providing ecotone Maharajganj, Gorakhpur, Kushinagar and Deoria (Fig. zone. Due to rich biodiversity one national park and six 1). The entire region is situated between 28°45′–26°15′ wildlife sanctuaries have been declared in the region. N and 079°51′–084°24′ E at an altitude ranging from 100 The entire region is also traversed by a number of lakes – 400 m above mean sea level and covers an area of and ponds which remain full of water throughout the about 64,520 sq km. The region is bordered in the north year. Simultaneously, a number of large drains and hilly by Nepal country and Uttarakhand state, in the south by rivulets also occur which usually remain dry but get the remaining districts of Uttar Pradesh, in the east by flooded during rainy season. At various places the banks Bihar state and in the west by Haryana state. The of the drains are very high and show soil erosion due to climate of the area is typically of monsoon type where flood. The soil in the drains and rivulets is sandy. there is prominence of dew formation. The winter Otherwise, the soil is typical of terai which is very fertile, season starts from November and continues up to clayey in composition and has high water retaining February with minimum temperature of about 4ºC. This capacity. is followed by autumn, summer and rainy seasons. A perusal of literature indicates that although a During summer season the day temperature goes up to number of investigators (Duthie, 1903-1929; Kanjilal, 40-42ºC but the night is not so hot and a little pleasant. 1933; Panigrahi and Saran, 1967; Panigrahi et al., 1969; The entire area experiences western hot waves from Srivastava, 1976; Singh, 1997; Saini, 2005; Singh, March to May.

  • Diversity of Ornamental Climbers in Kattathurai Panchayath, Kanyakumari District, Tamil Nadu, India

These are showing variation in their habitat as well as their habit. As per climatic conditions, the plants are showing their presence in different sites. Climbing plants account for a significant component of plant evolution, diversity and abundance and play a major role in forest communities and ecosystems. The survey of angiospermic ornamental climbers from Kattathurai panchayath recorded total 48 species under 27 genera belonging to 17 families. Maximum number of 11 species was recorded for dicotyledonous family Convolvulaceae (Ipomea-11) followed by Jasminum (3), Passiflora (3), Clerodendrum (3), Allamanda (2); Campis (2); Clematis (2); Clytostoma (2); Solanum (2). Climbers in different parts of India suggest that the climbers are the main components of ecosystem, and their conservation is important to establish their appropriate utilization. The abundance of climbing plants in this study area was directly related to their capacity to intercept light efficiently but not to their potential carbon gain. The most abundant climbers in this ecosystem match well with a shade-tolerance syndrome in contrast to the pioneer-like nature of climbers observed in tropical studies. Keywords: diversity, plants, climbing plants, Jasminum Introduction objective of the present study was to document the Climbing plants are ubiquitous but their abundance and angiospermic climbers of Kattathurai panchayath.

Abstract The Wild Edible Food Plants (WEFPs) refer to those species which are neither cultivated nor domesticated but are important source of food in tribal areas of India. Uses of wild edible food as a coping mechanism in times of food shortage, provides an important safety net for the rural poor. In Odisha, there are 62 different tribes, of which the most numerous ones are Kondh, Gond, Santal, Saora, Kolha, Shabar, Munda, Paroja, Bathudi, Bhuiyan, Oraon, Gadabas, Mirdhas and Juang. The tribals of Odisha depend on forests for their food and other needs and regularly collect and consume fruits, leafy vegetables, tubers, flowers, mushrooms etc. from the nearby forests and have acquired vast knowledge about the wild edible food plants. The present study deals with the identification, documentation, ethnobotanical exploration and information on food value of wild edible plants (WEPs) from different tribal dominated villages of Keonjhar, Mayurbhanj, Kalahandi, Bhitarkanika (Kendrapada), Rourkela (Sundargarh), Jeypore (Koraput), Rayagada, Ganjam, Gajapati, Nabarangapur, Phulbani district of Odisha. The ethnobotany and traditional uses of 193 wild edible plants have been dealt in this paper. Although the popularity of these wild forms of foods has declined, they are nutritionally rich and their usage need to be encouraged.

    Bark and Cambial Variation in the Genus Clematis (Ranunculaceae) in Taiwan Sheng-Zehn Yang ( [email protected] ) National Pingtung University of Science and Technology https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8648-7507 Po-Hao Chen Graduate Institute of bioresources Chien-Fan Chen Taiwan Forestry Research Institute Original Article Keywords: cogwheel-like rhytidome, ray indentation, wedge-like phloem, Ranunculaceae, vessel restriction Posted Date: October 12th, 2020 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-89689/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/21 Abstract Background Studies on the anatomical characteristics of stems of Taiwanese species from the Clematis genus (Ranunculaceae) are scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare cambial variation in stems of 22 Clematis species. Results The rhytidome (outer bark) was either cogwheel-like or continuous, except for in the species Clematis tashiroi. Key features of the genus were eccentric to elliptical or polygonous-lobed stems, wedge-like phloem, wedge-like rays, indentations in the axial parenchyma, and ray dilatation. The cortical sclerenchyma bers were embedded in the phloem rays with approximately 23% of the Clematis species. Both C. psilandra and C. tsugetorum had restricted vessels. There were three vascular bundle patterns, with approximately 27% of the Clematis species in Taiwan having 12 vascular bundles. The vessels dispersed throughout the stem were semi-ring-porous in most species, but were ring-porous in others. No species had diffuse-porous vessels. Only two species had a primary xylem ring located around the pith.

Accepted 28 February, 2011 Medico-botanical and chemical standardization of Barham Dandi (Tricholepis chaetolepis (Boiss) Rech. f.), a pharmaceutical herbal drug and its adulterants has been carried out. The study includes parameters such as macro-micromorphology of species, pollen (SEM), organoleptography, fluorescence analysis (UV and IR) and certain physico-chemical aspects that is flavonoids finger printing by 2 D thin layer chromatography. The study revealed that by using physico-chemical and taxonomic markers, one can detect the adulteration in herbal raw material for pharmaceutical industries for safe and effective drug preparation. Key words: Tricholepis chaetolepis, medico-botanical, chemical, standardization, pharmaceutical. INTRODUCTION The drug “Barham Dandi”, botanically the Tricholepis purposes as T. chaetolepis. However, two most widely chaetolepis (Bioss). Rech. f. of family Asteraceae used and traded species instead of T. chaetolepis occupies a pivotal role in the Unani (Greek), Ayurvedic includes Oligochaeta ramosa (Roxb.) Wagenitz and (Indian) and indigenous system of medicine (Pakistan) Acroptilon repens (L.) DC.
